L. and r. Con Thursday night
of this week the Board of Managers
of the Literary and Recreation Club
held meeting and obtained rooms in
the second story of Beall, Baush &
Co.'s building for all three depa TT
ments--the reading room and library,
the gymnasium and the billiard and
pool hall. Arrangements were made
to furnish them at once.
from along the Creek last Saturday
brought great number of people to
the Arion Band picnic. The pressure
upon the motive power of the railroad
was so great that much delay ensued,
which prevented carrying out several
features of the programme at the hours
announced. The line Of procession
was lengthy and brilliant. The Frost
burg fire department, Frostburg City
Lodge, No. SS, Knights Of Pythias,
and the business wagons of Mum d
Jones, F. c. Beall, c. F. Nickel, John
Chambers, Eli Williams, J. c. Wilson,
Michael & Burton and Gehauf d
Mayer, alternated by the home and
visiting bands, made up the line.
Dancing and other amusements were
INDUCED until late hour. Financial
ly, the affair was a success.

Emory G. Bennett.-In addition to
the brief reference to the death of this
estimable young man last week we
quote the Huntingdon CIV. Va.) Ad-
certiser of last Saturday, which con
tains the following:
Emory Gardner Bennett died at his home
in this city on the morning of the 23d instant,
aged thirty years.
Three weeks ago he was taken down with
fever, but his condition was not regarded as
dangerous by his family or physician until
within two or three days of his death. His
constitution was not strong, however, and he
had not sufficient vitality to stand the vast
ing fire which was consuming his life, and
on Tuesday morning, in the presence of his
family and immediate relatives, he died.
Funeral services were held at the residence
of Major e. A. Bennett, on Ninth street,
Wednesday morning, and the body inferred
in Spring Hill cemetery in the presence of a
large number of friends.
He is survived by his wife and two small
children.
No kinder or more generous heart ever beat
than that of Emory Bennett. Neither malice
or meanness was i'll his nature. His faults
were the result of the warmth of his tempera-
ment and were nearly akin to those qualities
which gained for him the cordial friendship
of all who knew him. Those who knew him
best esteemed him most.
In religious matters he favored moditic,l-
ton of the faith of the Deists, believing in 4
Supreme Being or God with attributes of love
only, with q total absence of attributes of
vengeance or hate, and that the order of
creation was based upon perfection, providing
punishment for violations of both moral and
physical laws with unerring certainty, so
that special providences and miracles were
unnecessary and impossible
He was for many years publisher of the
advertiser, and during the last two years was
foreman of the office, and by virtue of his
long service seemed almost to belong to it.
Remembrance of his bright intellect and
single heart WILL not soon fade from the minds
OF his associates, who hope that he may sleep
well, or that his awakening may be happy
one.
Publications. Were we asked what
magazine had made the most progress
during the past year, a monthly ex-
animation of Demorest's obliges us to
admit that it would be difficult for any
publication to show more enterprise
